DeWitt Family

We finally broke down and hit a fancy show on the Strip. Mystere with my parents was really fun even though the boys kept joking about how bizarre it was. 

It's Brooklyn's year for the big birthday party so here's some photos and videos of her 4th birthday. She chose Hello Kitty for her theme and it was fun to get a chance to spoil her. Grandma and Grandpa Pew came to help spoil because they love it, too. And they surprised her by bringing her cousin Harlee Mae along. Brooklyn is super smart, intuitive, compassionate, helpful, and friendly. Some days I worry that she is 4 going on 14 because she is growing up so fast but I know we'll always be best friends.

So we squeezed Roxy's birthday into the last day of our trip to AZ/CA/OK so she got leftover cake, a few small gifts and 8 hours in the car. Way less than she deserves and here's why: She is funny and loves to get a laugh out of anyone she can - mastered the fake laugh early on. She is feisty and has strong opinions - gotta love that! (But some days not so much.) She started walking about 3 weeks shy of her birthday and she can say, "Dog Dog, Mom, Dada, More, Baby, and Bubble." Whenever we ask her if she pooped or if she's all done in the swing she shakes her head back and forth with a vigorous "No". The very best thing about her is that she gives the BEST hugs and kisses of any baby ever. Love it and love her!!!

So July was a bit crazy for us but we enjoyed some changes from the same old same old. Here's the general run-down: First, we all drove to AZ together and went to Kevin and Jessii's wedding/reception. Then, Brian and his mom drove to Tulsa, Oklahoma for his month-long radiology rotation there. Me and the kids stayed in Arizona and enjoyed family and friends. Half-way through the month, we drove to California for Jason and Stacey's sealing and got the BEST surprise we could have wanted: Daddy! (Brian's parents secretly flew him over from OK for the weekend.) Then we spent two more weeks in Arizona with more fun and I flew to Tulsa to help Brian drive the car back. We stopped through Snowflake on the way through to celebrate Grandpa DeWitt's 90th birthday and Roxy's 1st (separate post), then on through to see Grandma Timon in Parks for her birthday on the drive back home to Nevada.
